Call amazon and say that your ship date got moved. Complain loudly and talk about your CC company. I think they ran out of stock shortly after I announced this, so it is having the opposite affect.

"Delivery estimate: September 21, 2007"

Since I moved it from 2 day, to ground, to 1 day/next air and got a date of the 21st, which is 9 days from today I am going to stay put for now. I had called Amazon earlier today before I did the switch in shipping and they were giving me the run around that they couldn't see any in stock. Full of crap. Fingers crossed though for the 9/21 or sooner!

BTW, my 605 had several photos, music and some Archos videos, a total of 549 MB used on the HD and Firmware 1.1.02. Is this normal? Suproach?

Charging it from PC? Doesn't that method takes more that 24 hrs initially? If you would bought the dvr station or the mini dock, reports state the unit would have been charged within 3-4 hours. Congrats on the delivery though.

Thanks Kramer. Ya, you are right, but I couldn't decide which one to buy.. I don't have a TV now (I am an international student), I might just go with the Mini dock...

Maybe the wrong +24h first time charging times that have been reported were because the users had an old firmware on it at first which might have a wrong battery indicator saying it is still charging while it may be completely charged already. Maybe it's ok to update the firmware before having charged it completely the first time, at least if you don't see it indicate it's finished charging for the first time after a few hours.

I updated the firmware to 1.3.08 (smoooth and easy)...
Bought a web-browser plugin from Archos.com on PC (flawless install) and
I have ordered a Mini-Dock from Amazon with oneday shipping (will arrive on friday)...
